I took my wife out to one of our favorite restaurants for lunch a few days ago. There was a middle-aged couple sitting nearby. Both were diddling with their not-so-smartphones the entire time they were there, never once speaking to each other or looking out the windows to enjoy the beautiful ocean coastline.
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

Effectively ignoring the people they traveled with. Who spends all that money on a flight and a resort to just sit and stare at the same 6" screen they look at while on the toilet, in bed, at the dinner table, etc.. |

I don't use it or pay much attention to its existence, so I haven't got a useful opinion about it. I've gathered it's got its good sides and its bad sides, like so much else in life.

Everyone gets on insta, takes their best snaps (Ive been at the beach and watched girls spend a half hour getting the PERFECT over the shoulder butt shot) of their best vacation, new toy, etc. Then they filter the shit out of it so it looks perfect. So if you look at everyones socials you only see literally the BEST of their life and even that is modified. So it looks like everyone is looking hot 24/7 and traveling to Bali every weekend like billionaires. Nobody is going to post that their car was repo'd, that they are eating ramen because they rent is about due, etc. But people know THEY are "lying" that way but they cant do the math in their head that everyone else is also "lying" that way. So its creating a lot of social issues for people who assume everyone else's life is great 24/7 and theirs is shit*. *of course there is the true compartmentalized narcissist who literally thinks they are perfect. |

The US Surgeon General (do we have to salute?) just issued major advisory on social media use and teens' mental health today:

highly recommend not using it at all unless you need it for advertising your business.
or running a private group that really brings people together for a positive reason. |
